Testing with WebSphere MQ on z/OS systems
You can test WebSphere® MQ on z/OS® by using the Rational®
Integration Tester MQ exit module. You can record at the
transport level or operation level when running the exit with a single queue manager. If you have a
queue sharing group and if you choose to run an instance of the exit for each queue manager within
the queue sharing group, you can record shared queues using mirror queue recording. You can also
virtualize requests to shared queues using fixed queue stubbing.
For information on testing WebSphere MQ on non- z/OS, see Testing WebSphere MQ messages.
